I don’t normally like commenting on current affairs or news but this latest tragedy, in the form of the Grenfell Tower Block Inferno, has left me bereft and so sad and angry.

The poor residents left homeless, possessionless and without a solid future are victims of possibly a needless disaster.

Okay, the tower block wasn’t the most beautiful sight and lacked architectural integrity but it has stood the test of time. My guess is that the local rich folk, in their mansions and London retreats wanted something more pleasing to the eye so as to keep “nice” standards up.

Well thats all fine and dandy but when the task falls on those who want to make a fast buck then greed and cost-cutting is a sure thing.

If the cladding was banned in America and deemed unsafe in Germany for structures over 40ft then why on earth should it be discussed yet alone used. And for what, a £5,000 saving. It makes me sick to the core to think that this could have been allowed.

Yet the bosses of the cladding company and those involved in the decision making are living in lavish mansions, taking exotic holidays and flaunting super cars and the like. That little saving probably bought a wife a nice Gucci handbag or pair of shoes only to be seen in once.

But set aside those grievances and think about how this was even granted planning permission. Someone must have had their palm greased to get it rubber-stamped. Well I hope they can live with themselves.

Peter Green, a complete corporate liar and cheat, is not as bad as these people. Near but not as bad. I mean he stole and cheated employees and investors out of millions but he didn’t directly kill anyone and I’m sure he will be hounded for justice. Let us hope so.

No these criminals knowingly set a lethal time-bomb in motion and have caused death, life-changing injuries, loss of homes and misery for hundreds of people and I really do hope they are brought to justice and live a life of hardship for their remaining years.

I do hope that this is the case and the words of those set the horrible task of investigating this tragedy and not just “there are lessons to be learned” and those responsible walk free.

The residents only crime, no not crime but fault, was that they were of lower status and poor (in the eyes of those who abandoned them). Thus their complaints and worries fell on deaf ears. Just because they didn’t have the financial power behind them then those who could have changed things ignored them.

The hard working people, not just in this country but all around the world, are treated with contempt and indifference, until needed to vote the despots into power. These are the ones that keep the world turning by going out to work at all hours and throughout the seasons for little or conservative pay. They are taxed from every angle and their opinions are left to seed the stony barren land. However, without them these fat cats and leaders would have nothing. And the gap is getting worse and worse.

So I pray that the victims of Grenfell and the surrounding areas find help, justice, peace and a new life of happiness and fortune.

My thoughts go out to you all and thanks for listening.
